I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 4
Hey ya'll. Thanks to Sara Pai Blaze, Danielle Talouft, jeffhardyzgrlbri, evilerk73, cerebral goddess, Flesh-N-Bone, and Paige . Your reviews are what are making this story. That's part of the reason that I quit writing The Screwed up Life I Lead, because no one was reviewing. But I've decided to update that when I can and finish it. I have three more chapters to go and I just recently updated it but for some reason it didn't go to the front page. Anyway, thanks to all for reading, it makes me feel appreciated. Hope you guys all like this chapter. Took me all day to think of it.
Eric hit his head on his desk over and over again. She was doing way better than him in every way possible and all he could do was sit here and come up with the same lame things that weren't getting him anywhere. He had been questioned by everyone about the kiss. Been given advice. Told that he should go to her and tell her how he felt about her, told that he should just stay far far away. He didn't know what he was supposed to do. No woman brought Eric Bischoff down. Not even Stephanie McMahon. However, she was. And it was corny and stupid and he couldn't do anything about it.
Give in to the challenge; don't give in to the challenge. That was the question. Well, he for once didn't care. He needed to see her and that's what he was going to do. No one had to find out about it. The challenge wouldn't be over. As long as he could see her he could get ideas and quit lacking on his job. He smirked as he got up. Then his smirk was replaced with a frown when his cell phone rang. He answered it.
"Having fun? Your show is loosing ratings, you're loosing respect, and you will loose Stephanie. I will make sure of that. Too bad you can't see her. She's doing great. Just thought I'd let you know. Bye Eric, we'll talk soon." With that the line went dead. Eric shut his cell. The challenge stated that he couldn't be around Stephanie and vice versa. But the challenge did not state that they couldn't accidentally run into each other. And that's just what was going to happen.

Stephanie shut her cell phone. Things were going great! The show's ratings were skyrocketing and the newly re-formed rivalry between Angle and Benoit was hotter than anyone expected it would be. The people were responding to her new matches and new ideas better then they were to Eric's. She noted that he wasn't doing all that well. She had heard that he was being threatened, however, and wondered if that was the reason he wasn't doing so well. What he was being threatened about, no one knew. But he had been talking about it with Vince and someone had overheard. Stephanie had to give points to whoever was doing it. The way that he treated his superstars no one would have the balls to do so for pure fear of being found out. If it were someone from her roster, she had no clue. She figured that she was equally feared as he was though and didn't think that anyone from her roster would try to threaten him.
She had to giver herself points as well. She was doing far better than she had expected without Eric to compete with. She missed him, of course. She missed the surprising visits, the verbal spars. The thrill of being in the same room with him. Kurt suspected that it was all a front to hide her feelings and maybe it was, if so she must've been damn good at hiding her feelings from even herself.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when Brock entered her office. "You tell me what I'm supposed to do?" He all but yelled at her, locking his agent out of the room. She could hear Paul outside the room yelling at him to "open the door" and that "asking her was like dancing with the devil". "What are you supposed to do about what?" She asked. "About Big Show? I can't beat him. So that leaves me nothing to do." He said. "You loose your title it's as simple as that. There is nothing that you can do, so its time that your reign has come to an end." Stephanie said. "You can't do that to me Steph. Without that title I'm nothing. The fans will hate me after that. They'll hate Show for beating me. They'll hate you for letting it happen." The last part sounded almost like an offer. However he was right. The show would possibly loose ratings for Show holding the title. Unless Taker came back from his injury and took the title from Show but that would take time and planning and during the challenge she didn't have that time to offer. She looked up at Brock. "Your right. I'll see what I can do. I'll talk to the writers about it. If they can't help us out with that then I'll say something to Daddy." Stephanie said. Brock smirked. "I knew that I could count on you. Thanks Steph." He leaned over and kissed her forehead. Then he left.
Stephanie shook her head. What was up with everyone kissing her all of a sudden? Suddenly her door was swung open and locked after the figure had came into her office. When the figure turned to face Stephanie, she didn't know weither to be angry or happy that he was in her office. "Eric!" She exclaimed. Eric smiled. "Oops. Is this your office?" He asked matter of factly. Stephanie decided on a smile. "You little sneak. Does this mean that you give up on the challenge?" She asked. Eric shook his head. "Nope, it just means that I found a way around one of the stipulations. Like we aren't allowed to see each other, but no one ever said that I couldn't accidentally run into you." He said. Stephanie smirked. This could prove to be interesting.
There you go, chapter 4. Hope you liked. Don't forget to review.
